Omorphochorius

Omorphochorius was a town of the Kingdom of Jerusalem that was built in the 12th century by Frankish settlers. Its name means "beautiful village" in Greek, and the town mostly served an agricultural and military purpose, not having many houses for settlers. In 1192, the Ayyubids assaulted the town after the Franks failed to take Ard al-Wahat from the Saracens, and the town was burnt to the ground. The Frankish soldiers were slaughtered, and the site of the town was abandoned.
